[IMP] core: improve test_tags

Add the support to be able to specify exlicitely module, class and method name in test_tags

Before this commit, there is no distinction between module tag and test tag. Meaning
that --test-tag module_name will replace the default +standard tag and execute all test
of the module.

This commit tries to keep the initial behaviour, while addind new features, like explicit
modules tag with /module_name, as well as class (:class) and method (.method)

Some usage examples:
--test_tags /module will execute all standard test of module
--test_tags :class will execute all standard test with class name 'class'
--test_tags .method will execute all standard test with method name 'method'
--test_tags external/module will execute all external test of module
--test_tags */module will execute all tests of module,
--test_tags */module,-standard will execute all non standard tests of module,
--test_tags -/website:TestUiTranslate.test_admin_tour_rte_translator will disable only rte translator test
